Chapter 4: Island of Dreams

Link awoke from his slumber and found himself floating adrift on a plank from his former ship. Koholint Island was gone, as though it had never been. But of course, it was never a real island to begin with—somehow, Link had become caught up in the dream of the Wind Fish.

The strange, colorful flying whale flew away overhead. It was a pity to know Koholint wasn't real—Link had become rather fond of young Marin, even if she was just an illusion. It certainly didn't help that Link had thought he was on land for days—and had actually been floating in the ocean. He was sunburned and sore, and if he didn't get anything to eat or drink soon, he would die.

Suddenly, he saw a sail approaching. He couldn't believe his luck. He didn't know there was anyone this far out to sea—perhaps there were islands in this part of the ocean, and he simply hadn't known about them.

He wasn't sure how he would return to Hyrule from here. He wasn't even sure the approaching sailors spoke Hylian. But for now, that didn't matter.

He would survive—and he had such a tale to tell.
